You made this statement which is wrong:

> ~47 million Americans aren’t native English speakers having immigrated from a non English speaking country.

Your link says 46M total which includes native speakers. So it does not state how many non-native speakers. (not that it would matter as most would be proficient english speakers, just pointing out you're exagerating and your numbers are wrong)

> aren’t native English speakers

Where does it state this?

Do you assume that all immigrants are non-native english speakers?

> Including people who speak English as a second language, estimates of the total number of Anglophones vary from 1.5 billion to 2 billion

wikipedia. You are a bit off...

As for native you have US+UK+Canada+Australia+NZ+Ireland. So more then your 380M.

> The barrel can be rifled polygonally through electrochemical machining.

It's not fully 3d printed. 3d printed parts are fragile.

So what exactly are they banning?

Why not ban the electrochemical machining instead?

you wouldnt have auto playing videos with ublock origin. 95% might be nice but theres a lot missing.

The static blocklists can be defeated easily by having ads served by the same domain.

In that case you are stuck due to apple's decisions.

I'm not sure about ufw/firewalld. Maybe docs aren't clear there either

I configured iptables and had no trouble blocking WAN access to docker...

In addition to that there's the default host in daemon.json plus specifying bindings to local host directly in compose / manually.

sucks to not have ublock origin.

Sure, ISP can oversubscribe as much as they want.

As long as they make a fair guess and I get my bandwidth whenever I want, all is good.

That seems to be the case right now.

Dedicated internet access is a different thing, I agree, it also provides different guarantees, support, etc.

ISPs are free to oversubscribe as much as they want.

As long as they also provide people the bandwidth sold to them when they want it.

Otherwise compensation should be in order if they throttle.

throttling should be an exception, not the norm.

If ISPs sell you a bandwidth per month they should deliver it.

You're the one that's short changed if you accept the throttling.
